UFC 152 takes place Sept. 22 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The event’s main card airs live on pay-per-view while preliminary-card bouts air on FX.

Norwegian Thoresen takes a step up in competition following a successful debut at UFC on FUEL TV 2, where he submitted Besam Yousef on the event’s preliminary card. That extended his current win streak to three, though he carries just two career defeats in 19 professional outings.

Thoresen holds a notable win over UFC vet John Maguire at BAMMA 3.

Baczynski, meanwhile, looks to make it four in a row after stopping the advance of another prospect. Most recently, the veteran of “The Ultimate Fighter 11″ handed Lance Benoist his first defeat at UFC on FX 3, which built on wins over Matt Brown and Clay Harvison in his second UFC stint.

Overall, Baczynski is 5-0 since a loss to Brad Tavares prompted a pink slip from the UFC following his turn on the reality show.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
